New York – On Tuesday night, Selita Ebanks hosted a GREY GOOSE Cherry Noir exclusive preview tasting and dinner with Chef Roble Ali and friends at 632 On Hudson.
The evening kicked off with a casual cocktail reception, where arriving guests nibbled on delectable tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and sipped on the GREY GOOSE® Cartini and GREY GOOSE® Cherry Noir Midnight Highball cocktails. Selita made a stunning entrance in a Gatsby-esque red dress for the occasion. Following the cocktail hour, dinner guests were prompted upstairs into the candle-lit dining area where Selita formally welcomed guests and Chef Roble Ali introduced the evening’s cherry-inspired menu. GREY GOOSE Master Mixologist, Nick Mautone, was also on hand, crafting delicious Cherry Noir cocktails to pair with menu selections and to introduce the inspiration behind his cocktail each time a pairing was served. A highlight of the evening also included a cameo appearance by Anthony Mackie who swung by just to say hello to all of his friends seated at the table. Selita raised a glass to guests at the conclusion of the evening, reminding them to #cherrynoir and “Keep it Noir.”
Notable guests in attendance included, Kevin Liles, Vashtie Kola, Tamron Hall, Bevy Smith, Ty Hunter and Fatima Siad, to name a few.
